Live from the AKC Andrew Downs Studios – Julia Bradshaw flies solo on Fashion & Sh!t Show Diaries EP 10 and pulls back the curtain on the absolute chaos of the last two weeks as a small business owner, corporate professional, and mom.

She also breaks down the real impact on small businesses, how a strong support system (and her amazing husband) got her through the breakdowns, creative ways she’s moving extra inventory, upcoming private parties, WhatNot shows, and why “what doesn’t kill you makes you stronger” hits different when you’re wearing chocolate brown Scuba pullovers and high-waisted leggings.
